[ I mean she's still out in Magatus but there's a thought which has sort of lingered in the back of her mind for a while now and as such more to clear her mind from thoughts of wolves and the thoughts of her own son (including of all things puns, why??? she's going to put out vaguepost in the form of: ]

So does anyone else have children in the memories they've been getting?

To answer my own question the woman I am in my memories has a son and then her son has three children as well.

[ So this tbh pretty young looking 41 year old is a grandmother in her memories but that's beside the point. ]

What's wrong with the name Ben?

[lostapprentice]

he wore all black with this on his head, had a red laser sword, and could move people with his mind. ben seems a little plain for all that.

[matchbreaker]

... Point, point.
Like you'd pick a new name for history to call you

[lostapprentice]

exactly. it isn't exactly a name that would strike fear in the hearts of his enemies, either, and i'm sure he was the type to make himself as intimidating as possible.

[matchbreaker]

Could be a last name only thing? If it was still Solo that might work

[lostapprentice]

i suppose. though i wonder how long it will take me to actually find out, since it's taken this long to come up.

it's strange to think that we'd have the same names. i'd prefer that we didn't, if just to make it easier to separate.

[matchbreaker]

For better or worse most people I know have the same name between both, I think. Or mostly the same name? I know I did, so I didn't even think other people wouldn't until later.

[lostapprentice]

your past self lived on some version of earth, so it makes more sense for you. someone from who knows where in space using the same name is different.

not that any of it makes sense, but i guess that's why i wasn't expecting it.

[matchbreaker]

Putting it that way, it's almost weird that ...

Well, no, I guess you wouldn't know the language.

[lostapprentice]

you can't just trail off like that and not explain what you mean.

[matchbreaker]

Well I was thinking about understanding the memories, but I understood all the ones which must've been in Japanese before I could speak Japanese. So that's not an issue.

[lostapprentice]

i hadn't thought about that part of it. it wouldn't make much sense for everyone to speak english in wherever they were in space, though i've been understanding it like it was.

i suppose knowing what was said is a part of the memories, whether we would know the languages or not.

Maybe you'll eventually get an understanding of the language, who knows?

oh yes, learning space english. that will be just as useful as actual languages on earth, i'm sure.

knowing my luck it's probably in letters they don't even have on computers.

[matchbreaker]

If it helps, I know a programmer who could help with that.

[lostapprentice]

i'll get in touch with you about that if i ever learn it and find any reason to communicate in a language no one else will understand.

[matchbreaker]

Some linguists might be impressed with it or it makes for a pretty private diary.

But yeah, probably not that useful.
